Chippy Tea Songtext
von The Lancashire Hotpots

Well it′s the end of the working week
And I'm rushing back home quick
I′m starving
I'm fair klempt tha knows
I could eat a buttered brick
I need stodgy food without the fuss
Then wife gives me a plate of cous cous
I said I'm sorry love but I wants a chippy tea
Chippy tea, chippy tea
I wants a chippy tea
But you keep givin′ me posh nosh
It don′t agree with me
I don't want lobster thermidor
Wi′ a raspberry coulis
I'm a working man from Lancashire
And I wants a chippy tea
Plenty salt and vinegar on that love
Leave it open will ya darling It′s dark when I sets out to work
It's dark when I come wom
And all I want is simple food
Not dim sum from Ken Hom
Her inspiration′s Ready Steady Cook
Am I eating it?
Am I f...
It's Friday night
And I want a chippy tea
Chippy tea, chippy tea
I wants a chippy tea
But you keep givin' me posh nosh
It don′t agree with me
I don′t want lobster thermidor
With your raspberry coulis
It's Friday night
I′m within my rights
I wants a chippy tea


"And in the red kitchen
William is preparing griddled squid
With coconut pesto
Chilli jam and an ice Cointreau custard"
"And in the Lancashire kitchen
Bernard's brought back from the chippy
Chips, peas, pudding, gravy wrapped
A carton of curry, a barmcake and a can of Vimto
Now"
Chippy tea, chippy tea
I want′s a chippy tea
But you keep givin' me posh nosh
It don′t agree with me
I don't want lobster thermidor
Or your raspberry coulis
I'm a working man from Lancashire
And I wants a chippy tea
Got any of your satchets of tomato sauce
Throw us a chicken in there will you love
Wigan chippies they have baby′s heads
In St Helens they serve splits
But tha′s giving nouvelle cuisine
And all I want is chips
I don't care if it′s one of Nigella's
I think that′s a funny name for a fella
I'm not eating it
I wants a chippy tea
One last time
Chippy tea, chippy tea
I want′s a chippy tea
But you keep givin posh nosh
It don't agree with me
You can keep your Jamie Olivers
Or your Gordon Ramsey's
I′m a working man from Lancashire
And I wants a chippy tea
Right
Throw a sausage in that batter love
Pass us one of those 2p forks
